Quality of the food is really good..food was tasty , dropped by with my wife to have some lunch and we were impressed with the food, drinks and the atmosphere. Prices are little to the higher side, I guess that's alright as long as the quality of the food is maintained at a good level, please don't expect to eat chep over here. this place is full of foreigners at all times, so please understand as locals that it's okay if they give more priority to foreigners because that's how its supposed to be. This place is very good to spend time, chill out,have a couple of drinks and leisurely enjoy your meals, (so if you are in a rush to eat and go please consider these comments) all in all I would like to recommend pier88 to anyone.

Beautiful old tavern style bar in Waskaduwa

Tenderion Veal Steak with Red Wine Sauce
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pier88 River Bar and Restaurant, and I was thoroughly impressed. It had stunning views of the water, beautifully decorated, beautiful waterfront location, delicious food and drinks. The quality and quantity of the food was amazing. This is the only restaurant we found best in Bentota/Aluthgama and we dined here during all of our 3 days of stay in Bentota.
Couple of small suggestions to the restaurant would be to improve the service time and also to manage the mosquito problem well for the customers especially in the evening.

This place never disappoints!! Amazing food with a great view from the deck where the restaurant is located. They also got a floating peer where you can sip a drink and chill when it’s not too sunny. This should be your ho to
Spot if you’re passing aluthgama 😁

Seafood Platter
2024.2.4I order in the store at 7:30p.m.After explaining the order to the waiter and urging him for four times, he did not come to serve us after half an hour. In one case, the waiter originally wanted to help us order, but was stopped by the supervisor in blue clothes and asked him to serve the white man next door first. In fact, the white man had already ordered, and he also asked the white man whether he should take a photo of him. So your shop shoots white people for free without taking care of us first? Won't let us order? An Indian who arrived later than us also ordered food and I was treated differently because I was Chinese? Do you remember the 10,000 tons of rice that China donated to you when your country was bankrupt? It is the money of our Chinese citizens and taxpayers, and it is the sense of responsibility of our great power, but what you have done is really shocking to me. Today is the Independence Day of your country, but the nation's inferiority remains unchanged, servility is very serious, bless you to continue to work hard to serve the white people, maintain this state, and let more national resources let us admire your nation's spirit. Thanks to the shop owner, this is my first visit to Sri Lanka and my last.

Relaxed Riverfront Vibes at Pier88 River!
Review:
I recently had a delightful experience at Pier88 River, and I must say it’s a hidden gem for those seeking a place to unwind, enjoy great food, and chill by the river.
The restaurant’s ambiance was perfect for a laid-back evening - the chill atmosphere, combined with the serene riverfront view, created an instant sense of relaxation. As I settled in, I couldn’t help but appreciate the thoughtfully designed space that exuded a cozy yet trendy vibe.
The menu featured a variety of delectable dishes, and I was not disappointed with the food at all. The flavors were on point, and each dish was expertly prepared. Whether it was the mouthwatering seafood platter or the perfectly cooked steaks, everything was a delight to the taste buds.
The service was friendly and attentive, ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of pleasant. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations.
One thing that stood out for me was the bar area. It’s a great spot to sip on refreshing drinks while enjoying the breathtaking view of the river. The bartenders were skilled mixologists, crafting delicious cocktails that perfectly complemented the evening.
Moreover, I must mention that the washrooms were impeccably clean and well-maintained, with no trace of any unpleasant odors. It’s always a sign of a well-run establishment when even the washrooms are spotless!
In conclusion, Pier88 River is the perfect place to unwind, enjoy delicious food, and have a great time with friends. If you’re looking for a spot to drink, chill, and soak in the tranquil riverside atmosphere, this is the place to be!

Location is awesome. Right next to the river. Riverside view and feel is awesome. Have a dedicated parking space, maybe a bit tricky to see for first timers.
Service is also great. The do the work very professionally.
Food is just awesome. Nothing to complain about the taste or the quantity. Every dish we tried was great.

Probably the best value for money place in the area (bottle of wine for 4k, nice and sizable dishes), lively atmosphere, mix of locals and tourists. Overall, cool place I’d recommend

They forgot ordered meals, brought meal different to order and we found hair in the food. Tuna Steak is way too small compared to other restaurants in Sri Lanka.
